Hello all!

Hey there, if anyone is still reading this. I have been quite busy, as I'm sure you can tell by the fact that I haven't posted anything. At all. Sadly this won't be a very exciting post, but I figured I'd show you what I've been up to the last few days. Also, university went great, the first semester was a blast and I'm ready to head back for round two.

Anyways, I've been playing with a new operation system called Ubuntu. One of it's features involves a built-in spellcheck, which is showing me just how terrible my spelling really is. :P

So I'll show you briefly what it looks like. This is my desktop.



So not too different from your standard Windows desktop. Not very pretty yet either, I'm going to change those grey bars soon. Oh, did I not mention? In Ubuntu you can change anything. Yes that's right, anything. At least as far as I can tell. :P For example, I have no doubt I could change all my desktop icons into little labelled flowers. I'm not sure why I'd want to, but I could.

Anyways, this is where it starts getting cool. If my first desktop gets too cluttered (this is a 13" laptop. it happens) I switch to my second desktop. Or my third or fourth. And if I wanted, I could have 50. :P I do this using a rotating cube.



There it is. As you can see, I am viewing one site on the left face and another on the right face. And underneat them, you can see the back of a window opened on the third face. As always, this is infinitely customizable. Want a triangle instead of a cube? Check. Or a 17 sided object? Check. Or the background, it can be whatever you want. Mine is a forest.

Okay, I'm probably boring you. Unless you're a computer enthusiast who stumbled on this blog by mistake. So last picture.



This is one of my windows burning up. Obviously it looks smoother when it's moving. When I hit the X in the corner, my windows burn up. Or fall over backwarps, or beam up into space, or explode into fragments. Whatever I want really. :P

Anyways, that is my recent time-waster. I'll let you go back to your lives now.

God Bless,
Keilan

Hello to all!

Well, much to my surprise, people still look at this. The page view count is slowly going up by about 3 views a week. It must be depressing for my dedicated viewers that I go months without a post. I'm sorry!

So I have decided to show some of the most heroic pictures ever to be taken. As you will soon see, these pictures contain both a fedora and a guitar. Sorry, I don't do autographs. :)

Now wasn't that amazing?! I am quite proud of my new hat. Only cost me $19 too. My guitar was a bit more expensive. >_>

Anyways, life is going good for me. I am no longer employed, which means I will greatly enjoy the rest of my summer. I am also pretty pumped for university. Besides the $700 bill for textbooks alone. Yuck.

Well, hopefully I will update this again sooner rather than later.

God Bless,
Keilan

It has been a long time

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the enormous gap between blog posts. I've been busy. That should end soon however, seeing as I am done high school as of tomorrow!

Anyways, I decided to post today in honour of my new laptop. Which is quite snazzy and what not. It makes blog posting faster and stuff. :)

Here are some pictures:



Anyways, I still have much to do in terms of setting it up. So I shall do that.

God Bless,

Post!

Hey all,

I have decided it is once again time for a post. And by that I mean, I don't want to start my homework, so I'm doing this instead. I am currently on easter break, so that's pretty nice. I slept until 10:30 today... and that is the first time in memory that I've done that. Usually even on days off I'm up by 8.

Most of my free time has been spent playing videogames. I got this new game on March 9th, and as of today, I have spent 60 hours on it. It's kind of scary. Oh well. I have also been working on a large bio project. I did decide I had to get out of the house at least once, so I went to a movie called "The Bank Job" with my friend. Just as a warning, it is rather inappropriate. Do not take small children. At least the plot was good...

Anyways, I have some more pictures from Hawaii!!!

I really liked this picture because of the way the light hit the palm trees. Hopefully someone else likes it too.


These are some crazy fish. They'd swim in big packs and go insane if you threw bread in. I have a few videos of them hopping all over the place trying to get to the food.


This is a cool looking bird called a Java Sparrow. This one was standing around playing with the little tangle of weeds that it's biting for about 2 minutes. Plenty of time to take pictures of it.


This is a Komodo Dragon in the zoo. It actually moved quite quickly and I wasn't able to get a full body shot.


Anyways, that's it for today.

God Bless,

Hawaii Post

Hey everyone!

I've been back from Hawaii for awhile now, so I figure it's about time for me to get a blog post up with some of my pictures. I've been a little bit busy settling back into things at home but I am caught up in school (and my marks didn't even drop!) so now I am quite a bit less busy. Anyways, on with the pictures.

This was taken from the hotel pool (on the second floor of the hotel). I was playing with time lapse photos and thats how I got the wierd red lights on the road.

This is the state fish of Hawaii and one of my only good shots of a fish. This thing is called a Hunahunanukanukakauapua (and I probably spelt that wrong). Why anyone would use a name that long is beyond me.

This is something I think the world needs to see. I want one of these. No, I want a whole colony of these. It appears to be a duck with a lions mane. Wow. Anyways, this isn't native to Hawaii. It was in the zoo and apparently comes from Asia somewhere.

This is Waikiki beach where the tourists flock. It is very nice and there are relative few things in the water that can kill you. Although we did come across a pretty freaky looking sea urchin at one point.

I have many more which may come in future blog posts. This is it for today though.

God Bless,

Keilan

What a view!

Well I'm still in Hawaii, and I figured it was time for another blog post.

I've been taking plenty of pictures (and even a video of some crazy fish, more on that once I get home). Unfortunately I still can't really share the pictures because it takes so long to upload. I will put up one of the view from my hotel room.

Nice, eh? The only problem with being on such a high floor is that fact that approximately 92% of my vacation is spend waiting for, or being inside an elevator. And the elevators at the hotel are psychotic. They greatly enjoy randomly taking you to the floor one level higher than the one you want to be at. So we have walked the stairs from 16 to 15 countless times.

There are also tons of cool animals here. Beautiful birds are plentiful and we went snorkling yesterday where I saw some of the most amazing fish ever. I was half a foot away from a fish that was 2 feet long a few times. Very cool.

Anyways, that's all for today.

God Bless,

Aloha!

Hello everyone!


One of the biggest problems a photographer faces is the lack of great equipment. I've shot 200 pictures in the last day, and not one of them turned out as well as what I see through my own two eyes. What I wouldn't give for a camera with as much clarity and depth of picture as the human eye. Alas, no such camera exists, and so you'll have to make due with the pictures I could take. Although I won't be uploading too many of them. This computer is very slow and so posting is pretty time consuming.


Here's the one I wanted to share with you today. This fine looking bird was walking down the shallows in the canal that runs through Honolulu. I think it's a heron, but I can't look it up until I get back home.




You may now take a moment to laugh at my thrown together copyright in the corner. This computer does not have the image software I'm used to. :)


Anyways, I am off to the pool.


God Bless,

Hey all,

I have not only run out of pictures, but of greetings as well. Oh well, I do have some good news on the picture front. I am going on vacation mid-february and I do plan to return with some photographic proof of my journey. Anyways, brief update on my life.

I have written my two diplomas (giant high school exams) for this quarter. Man that was fun. As expected, the math went well and the english was terrible. Meh, it's english, I don't care THAT much. Besides that, I have decided to change my university major from general science to physics education. I want to be more specialized, and physics is a good time (trust me).

Anyways, thats it for today. More after my vacation (maybe even sooner).

God Bless,
Keilan
